reakit-utils
Advanced tools
The reakit-utils package provides a collection of utility functions that are useful for building accessible and reusable React components. These utilities help with DOM manipulation, event handling, and other common tasks in React development.
DOM Utilities
DOM utilities help with common DOM manipulation tasks. For example, `isVisibleInViewport` checks if an element is visible within the viewport.
const element = document.getElementById('myElement');
const isVisible = isVisibleInViewport(element);Event Utilities
Event utilities simplify event handling. The `addEventListener` function, for instance, adds an event listener to a DOM element.
import { addEventListener } from 'reakit-utils';
const handleClick = () => console.log('Element clicked');
addEventListener(document.getElementById('myElement'), 'click', handleClick);Array Utilities
Array utilities provide functions for common array operations. `removeItemFromArray` removes a specified item from an array.
import { removeItemFromArray } from 'reakit-utils';
const array = [1, 2, 3, 4];
const newArray = removeItemFromArray(array, 3); // [1, 2, 4]String Utilities
String utilities offer functions for string manipulation. The `capitalize` function capitalizes the first letter of a string.
import { capitalize } from 'reakit-utils';
const text = 'hello world';
const capitalizedText = capitalize(text); // 'Hello world'Lodash is a popular utility library that provides a wide range of functions for common programming tasks, including array manipulation, object manipulation, and more. It is more comprehensive and widely used compared to reakit-utils.
Ramda is a functional programming library for JavaScript that provides utility functions for working with arrays, objects, and other data types. It emphasizes immutability and pure functions, making it a good choice for functional programming paradigms.
Date-fns is a utility library for working with dates in JavaScript. It provides a comprehensive set of functions for date manipulation and formatting. While it focuses specifically on dates, it offers more specialized functionality compared to reakit-utils.
This is experimental and may have breaking changes in minor versions.
npm:
npm i reakit-utils
Yarn:
yarn add reakit-utils
Receives a setState argument and calls it with currentValue if it's a
function. Otherwise return the argument as the new value.
